Check itunes whether finished downloading?
Dear all,
i would like to write a little applescript that makes itunes update my podcasts.
I found a nice tip at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2826947
The big question now is: how can i check whether itunes has finished downloading all podcasts?
The reason is that i would like to shut down itunes from my applescript (or automator) automatically.
I found the 'player state' thing, but it seems that one cannot check the downloading status of itunes with that.
Thanks a lot in advance for any tips, hints, etc.
Best regards,
Gabriel.
I have had the same problem with several seasons of television shows. It is so infuriating. I have missed between 1 and 4 episodes of the last 5 seasons of shows I have purchased. They are there hanging out in my downloads file, but just won't play in itunes. If you ever had any luck with this let me know. I already cracked and purchased one of the episodes again, I don't want to pay double for the rest.

ITunes never finished download
iTunes never finished download the music and audiobooks that I purchased, the downloading process didn't have any problem in the begining, but after a while, the file that was downloading didn't appear in the purchased list, and I couldn't find it anywhere in iTunes, if I restarted iTunes or choosed Advanced>check for purchases.. then it appeared again, and being downloaded again from the begining...
The problem repeated so that my purchases are always being downloaded and never finished... they also never resume from the point that have problem, they always are downloaded from the begining.
Windows XP Pro P4 3.0Ghz, 1gb Ram, 700gb HDD...Same thing happened to me just now. I purchased a single song and it got about 1/4 of the way through and now it is just stuck...***
anyone know what I can do? -
Itunes wont finish downloading to my computer. no message pops up, it just doesnt do anything
When I go to download Itunes from the apple website, the download starts but then doesnt finish. Nothing pops up saying anything. I just sits there doing nothing. When I click it I get the option to open when finished and I click that. It's been well over an hour and it won't work. I've uninstalled everything in the proper order and restarted the computer.
It should be telling you to download the latest iTunes on your computer... you can't install iTunes on your iPhone.

Please check network settings and try again later, however there was no problem updating my iPhone to iOS 5 through iTunes connceted to my dell laptop on the same wireless network. What gives?
Try disabling your firewall; both on your PC and the external Firewall/Router.

I have an iPhone 5s and in my iTunes music library have the songs checked that I want downloaded onto my phone. Instead of doing this, it is syncing all songs whether they are checked or not even tho I have the "sync only checked songs" box checked. So basically it's syncing all of the songs when I just want the checked ones on. This is very frustrating.
When your device is connected, check the tabs at the top ("Summary" "Apps" "Music," etc. Under the Music one, check to see if "Sync Music>entire music library" is checked. If it is, that may be why all the songs are syncing.

Try redownloading on computer and syncing
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
I've been trying to download this song for two days. ITunes says that it downloaded, and that I purchased it, but it will NOT appear in my music. The weird thing is that I bought two songs simultaneously and the first one successfully appeared and I can listen to it. Totally fine. However, the second one will finish downloading, then disappear. I bought the same song two more times off of different albums just to make sure there wasn't a problem there. Nope. Everything with that song title will not show up. Rhapsody in Blue, by the way. I also bought it on my iPod touch just to make sure there, and it successfully downloaded and I can listen to it on my iPod without a problem. Again, it just won't go on my IPHONE. It's frustrating. Any advice or help?!

I have a two problems with my new Ipad 2 operating system iOS 6.1.3
1) I can not syncronize with my itunes purchaces that I have on my mac book pro (operating system mountain lion)
2) When i purchase items from itunes store the downloads never finishes
I have tried starting and re-starting. Resetting the Ipad to original settings and non of this have worked. Any idea to what I should do?
Thanks a lot, JosephineThat's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it... -

I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5. I'm using the newest version of iTunes.
And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug. But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work. My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.No problem, glad to help!
Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine. -
my computer wont finish downloading itunes it says that the apple application support was not found and it tells me to uninstal it and download itunes again n i did so n it keeps doing the same thing, even tho i have downloaded itunes before in this computer. please i need help with this!
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -

i changed my ipod lock screen password and the locked my device (ipod touch 4th generation) and i tried to get back into my ipod to check a message and i had my password wrong i tried as many variations as i could think and it wouldnt accpet any of them. i contacted apple support and went through what i though was the recovery process to recover my ipod and set it back to factory mode and get back to everything and itunes said i was downloading something that i assumed was recovery mode. so now i turned my ipod back on and it still has the password on it and has not reset anything i do not know what i did wrong please help me.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Ok i have the Iphone 5c and a Dell laptop. I loaded Itunes to both i bought a digital copy of a movie. Loade it to my Itunes on the Laptop. how do i put it on my phone? I try to finish downloading or uploading it and it states interupted go click availble
iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.
